Helm's Deep by Majkol87

Come on, to complete this series of MOCs on Helm's Deep and because I know that there are a lot of Hungarian readers who visit the blog, here is a nice thumbnail offered by one of their compatriots Mihaly Toth aka Majkol, a freelance designer (see his website) LEGO fan.

The absurd but nonetheless epic scene in which Theoden, Legolas, Aragorn and the others come out of the fortress of Hornburg to go subdue the orc while awaiting Gandalf's arrival is interpreted here rather well.

LEGO Micro Helm's Deep

Helm's Deep is definitely on the rise at the moment and many MOCeurs are trying to replicate the fortress of Hornburg or modify the one from set 9474.

It is Georges G.'s turn to offer us his version with this creation in micro format.

As far as I'm concerned, it's flawless. Everything is there, up to the manhole cover in the wall.

The MOCeur ensures that it is only at the beginning of a series of MOCs in micro format based on the universe of Lord of the Rings. And that's good.

Remember to consult regularly his flickr gallery, or come back here, to see the rest.

LEGO Lord of the Rings - Orthanc

The numbers are impressive: More than 7000 pieces, 142 cm high, 10.2 kg of LEGO 46 cm in diameter at the base and $ 10.000 of which 10% will be donated to WWF.

This MOC of Orthanc, a unique copy offered for sale on Ebay by Jon's Bricks & Pieces and which will be delivered to the eventual purchaser in the form of modules to be assembled is quite simply out of the ordinary.

The gentleman does not intend to stop there, he is currently working on a reproduction of Minas Tirith of the same barrel.

You can see many pictures of Orthanc on his eBay listing as well as pictures of the current project on his facebook page.

Ent Beatenbark by Mr. Macgyver

Steven "Mr. Macgyver" presents us with a very successful Ent. The mix of colors corresponds perfectly to what LEGO usually offers us when it comes to vegetation and diverse and varied trees in the Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit or even Star Wars ranges.

Fully articulated (Neck, arms, forearms, waist, knees and legs), this inhabitant of the forest of Fangorn on his way to hide the orcs of Saruman, corresponds perfectly to my eyes to what LEGO should hasten to offer us in the Lord of the Rings range: a box with a few orcs and two or three of these giant trees would perfectly accompany the next set 10237 The Tower of Orthanc which is, let us remember, confirmed.

To see more, it's on Mr. Macgyver's flickr gallery that it happens.

The actors of The Hobbit trilogy recently had the opportunity to discover their characters in minifig version (see this article).

And Adam Brown, aka Ori the younger brother of Nori and Dori, went even further by offering himself the set which contains the minifigure of his character for Christmas as he proves in the photo and mentions it on his twitter account: "@BrownAds All I want for Christmas is ... #TheHobbit #Ori #Lego"
